A 14 year old has become the youngest person in the country to die from Covid-19.

They're among 25 patients who died in the week that ended on Tuesday.

Until now, a 17-year-old was the youngest to pass away.

It comes as the Government prepares to consider advice from health officials to ask people to work from home where possible.

Consultant in Infectious Diseases, Dr Eoghan De Barra, says the workplace can be risky.

"It's about where transmission occurs, and it's really the people you're regularly in contact with.

"Maybe the nightclubs certainly will have some elements of transmission, but the day in day out, working with 10 people in an office is a greater risk.

"We're trying to come with some ways that some elements of life can continue, but that we limit the impact from this."
